Sequestering sequestosome 1 via S-acylation in autophagy, Huntington disease, and beyond
Protein mislocalization and aggregation are hallmark features in neurodegeneration. As proteins mislocalize, proteostasis deficiency and protein aggregation typically follow. Autophagy is a crucial...

Thank you to everyone who donated and/or came to the Walk to End ALS today! I think it was a very successful event. Special thanks to my lab members who helped make shirts, volunteered at the walk, & walked the walk! You're amazing!

I successfully defended my Master’s thesis at the University of Waterloo!

This journey has been incredibly rewarding. A huge thank you to my supervisor @drddom.bsky.social for his mentorship. It’s been a privilege being part of the NeurdyPhagy team!

I’m now seeking new opportunities—let’s connect!

The NeurdyPhagy Lab is in Montreal talking all about palmitoylation in ALS MND. Stop by our posters & say hi.

Now that @jesuisyasmeena.bsky.social is on Bluesky, I should reshare this fantastic review she wrote, published in the Journal of Huntington's Disease. It's open access. Enjoy!
Excited to share a review by the talented Yasmeen Alshehabi from the Neurdyphagy Lab summarizing ~15 years of research on how we've come to think post-translational myristoylation of huntingtin (HTT) protein has a protective effect in Huntington Disease.
